Etymology
Romanian borrowed "lord" directly from English, most likely through French or general international usage referring to British nobility. The English word itself descends from Old English "hlāford", a compound of "hlāf" (loaf, bread) and a root meaning guardian or keeper, so it originally meant something like the person who keeps the bread. Romanian took the word as a ready-made noun, with no independent development from Latin.
